Colombian coffee · traceability infrastructure

Evidence from origin.
Confidence at import.

TrueData connects the farm polygon, forest history, legal-origin evidence, productive capacity and shipment chain into one verifiable record — built for EUDR due diligence and ready to support carbon MRV workflows.

The challenge

A polygon alone is not due diligence.

Coffee moves through producers, cooperatives, dry mills, exporters and importers. If identity, legality, land-use evidence and shipment data live in different systems, audit risk grows at every handoff.

01 / ORIGIN

Fragmented farm records

Producer identity, SICA/RUT references, land documents, plot geometry and production history are often collected at different times, in different formats, with weak provenance.

02 / RISK

Deforestation evidence without context

Satellite screening is stronger when it is attached to the correct plot, producer, legal-origin record and productive capacity — not treated as a standalone green/red map.

03 / VALUE

EUDR and carbon data stay siloed

The same farm boundary and monitoring history can support different evidence workflows. Recollecting the same origin data for each program wastes time and erodes trust.

TrueData evidence architecture

One farm record. Six linked evidence modules.

Designed for Colombian coffee: every module adds context, provenance and a machine-readable audit trail around the physical product.

M01

Producer identity

Legal/fiscal identity, SICA references, consent and source documents.

M02

Plot geometry

WGS84 polygons, effective coffee area, buffers and geospatial consistency.

M03

Forest history

Satellite and radar evidence around the EUDR deforestation cut-off.

M04

Legal origin

Land tenure and relevant local legal/environmental evidence.

M05

Productive capacity

Varieties, density, yield history and anomaly / over-production flags.

M06

Shipment chain

Cooperative receipts, internal transit, mill, container and dispatch linkage.

M02 · geospatial evidence

Know the exact production area — not just a point on a map.

Plot-level geometry becomes the anchor for every later check: land-use change, legal-origin evidence, capacity, shipment allocation and monitoring.

Source file, timestamp, responsible actor and version history.

M03 · forest history

Turn land-use history into a defensible evidence trail.

TrueData links optical satellite imagery, radar where useful, the farm polygon and source metadata into a single case file around the EUDR cut-off date.

Historical imagery tied to the exact polygon.
Multi-source evidence to reduce ambiguity in cloud-prone terrain.
Risk findings stored with the documents and mitigation record.

M04 · legality in origin

Keep local legal evidence attached to the coffee it supports.

Land tenure, environmental evidence and relevant origin-country documents are recorded with issue dates, source files and verification status — so the evidence can be reviewed without reconstructing the case later.

Structured origin-document checklist by farm.
Document provenance and current verification state.
Clear distinction between evidence, assessment and professional legal review.

M05 · capacity integrity

Make traceability harder to game.

A compliant plot can still be misused if volumes entering the chain are implausible. TrueData compares effective coffee area, planting density and production history to flag anomalies before a shipment inherits the farm’s evidence.

M06 · operational traceability

Carry the evidence from the farm into the shipment.

Cooperative delivery records and internal transit documents become part of the same traceable chain, linking origin evidence to batches, mills and export movements.

Carbon data layer

Collect once at origin. Reuse the evidence where methodologies allow.

Shade-grown and agroforestry coffee can require a second layer of field and monitoring data. TrueData’s role is to keep project boundaries, producer consent, land-use history and monitoring evidence traceable — creating a stronger data foundation for carbon project partners and MRV workflows.

Farm / project boundary and stable producer identity.
Agroforestry and shade-tree baseline observations with provenance.
Monitoring events, evidence versions and consent / rights records.

Use the same traceability spine for an additional monitoring layer.

The value is not another dashboard. It is a consistent source record that can feed the workflows around the coffee.

01 / EUDR

Due-diligence support

Geolocation, land-use evidence, origin documents, risk/mitigation context and shipment-linked records prepared for operator/trader workflows and DDS data requirements.

02 / BUYER

Origin passport

A controlled buyer-facing view can expose the relevant provenance and verification status without exposing every confidential source document.

03 / CARBON

MRV-ready foundation

Farm geometry, land-use history, producer identity and monitoring provenance can support screening and project preparation with carbon methodology partners.

How it works

From field evidence to a shipment-level record.

TrueData is designed around an auditable sequence: collect, reconcile, assess, link, export and monitor.

01

Capture at origin

Identity, consent, documents, GPS polygon and field evidence.

02

Reconcile sources

Normalize files, IDs, dates, geometry and provenance.

03

Assess & mitigate

Run geospatial, legality and consistency checks; document exceptions.

04

Link the batch

Connect production and cooperative movements to the verified origin.

05

Prepare outputs

Generate evidence reports, buyer views and structured DDS-support fields.

06

Monitor over time

Version changes and add MRV events where carbon programs require them.

Built around the coffee chain

One shared record, different controlled views.

Producers & cooperatives

Capture once

Structure farm evidence at source without recreating the same file for every downstream buyer.

Exporters

Protect the shipment

Link origin records to actual deliveries, lots and dispatch events before export.

EU operators & buyers

Review with context

Receive a clearer evidence package and traceable source record for due-diligence workflows.

Carbon project partners

Start with cleaner data

Use the same verified origin spine as a foundation for methodology-specific screening and MRV.

Colombia / coffee

Trace the coffee.
Preserve the evidence.

Start with one cooperative, one shipment lane or one portfolio of farms. We map the evidence gaps, define the capture workflow and build the first verifiable source records.
